Sharlene Mawdsley (Newport AC) who advanced to the semi-final of the 400m at the European Indoor Championships in Istanbul this morning.
Tipperary athlete Sharlene Mawdsley (Newport AC) advanced to the semi-final of the 400m at the European Indoor Championships in Istanbul this morning.
Mawdsley placed sixth overall in the heats, clocking a time of 52.59 to come home just behind Austrian Gogl-Walli. The Tipperary athlete boasts a personal best of 51.91 and never looked like missing out on one of the two automatic qualifying places.
Mawdsley will take on Gogl-Walli once again in this evening’s semi-final (5.03pm Irish time) as she looks to claim one of the top three qualifying places for Saturday’s final, a task made all the more difficult by the presence of Femke Bol of the Netherlands.
National 400m champion Sophie Becker (Raheny Shamrock) finished third in her heat (53.43) which was not enough to see her progress.
Miriam Daly (Carrick-on-Suir) will also run later in the weekend in the 400m relay event.
